Dodger Lane (Peter Sellers) has planned the perfect robbery while in prison. He intends to break out of prison, steal a fortune in diamonds, and break back into prison before anyone notices. With only a few days' sentence left, and the perfect alibi, what could possibly go wrong?
David Quantick has chosen the film as his 'Formative Film' choice. Our Formative Film series invites special guests to present a film that was influential to their lives and to share the reasons for their choice.
David will introduce 'Two Way Stretch': "I saw this film as a child and even then loved its mixture of comedy, anarchy and ingeniousness. The cast are superb, the silliness is great and the whole effect is hilarious and brilliant."
There will also be an opportunity for a Q&A with David Quantick after the film.
Sunday morning screenings include a free hot drink and biscuits with your ticket!
